The Drowning Ghost Lyrics by Terra Alive

The Confused Mind of a Young Hedonist

0

Since I was a little boy I couldn't wait to fall in love
The movies that my mother showed taught me everything I need to know
Give her everything you have, sacrifice a world for her
If she says that nothing's wrong, chase her down no matter how long
I ditched my friends to hang with you
Snuck out at night to lay with you
That summer night in 2009
At 2:15 I touched your thighs
You placed my hands right on your breasts
As we made out in between breaths
You questioned if I'd ever stop
Stop loving you as if I knew
Days went by and you kissed another boy
Weeks went by and you kissed another
Yеars after, yeah, you kissed anothеr boy
Where was I when you kissed another boy?
The whole time you told me you loved me
Kissed me like scenes in a movie
Cute little notes between classes
How could you lie to me, cheat on me?
[Chorus]
Yeah, you lie to me, you cheat on me
And ever since you did I haven't been the same
Yeah, you lie to me, you cheat on me
And ever since you did I haven't been the same
Since I was a little girl, Daddy told me wait around
Don't you ever stand for boys, they will always let you down
Always know that you're the queen, and don't forget to wear the crown
Gracefully I walked the line, and then you caught me with your smile
With you I was more than a child
Your downtown charm, so lion wild
I left my crown on bedside tables
Believed your lies, my mind disabled
I thought that we were meant to be
To you I was just another thing
And with glazed eyes, I couldn't see
All demons that you hid from me
Days went by and I became your toy
Weeks went by you became a different boy
Years went by, now I don't know you, boy
Now darling, don't go all coy
The whole time you told me you loved me
Kissed me like I was your queen
But there were parts of you I'd never seen
Now I don't know what to believe
[Chorus]
Yeah, you lie to me, cheat on me
And ever since you did I haven't been the same
You lie to me, cheat on me
And ever since you did I haven't been the same
[Interlude]
We have a huge barrel of wine, but no cups to drink it
We drink anyways and get drunk enough to spit words to fill buckets to throw at the foot of God
We dance to our own music, sweat hair and finger tips
Lips skin and shaking hips
We have a huge barrel of wine but no cups to drink it
And they say to us, "You have no future"
And they're correct, no one can tell us the future
The fortune teller lies thin and dead on the floor
And no one gets their fortune told anymore
[Outro]
Baby, I lie to you, cheat on you
Even though we did, it's "us" we really want
I lie to you, I cheat on you
Even though we did, it's "us" we really want
